The posting

Are you an experienced, community-minded public executive ready to lead a close-knit coastal town that welcomes visitors from across the country? Do you bring the steady judgment to guide a city through capital growth, tourism demands, and coastal storms? If so, the City of Port Aransas invites you to apply to become its next City Manager.

Appointed by and reporting to a seven-member City Council, the City Manager serves as chief administrative officer.

We’re seeking a fair, experienced, and approachable leader who is:

• A firm, transparent decision-maker who applies the rules consistently for everyone

• A strong steward of municipal finances and major capital projects

• Engaged in the community and at home in a casual, small-town beach environment

Perched on the northern tip of Mustang Island, Port Aransas is a barrier-island community where life moves at a slower pace. Known as the Fishing Capital of Texas, “Port A” offers 18 miles of sandy beaches, world-class bay and offshore fishing, and more than 600 species of saltwater fish in the surrounding waters.

The City of Port Aransas is seeking an experienced City Manager with a proven record of fair, honest, and transparent leadership.

The salary range for this position is $230,000 - $260,000, depending on qualifications.

The City Charter requires the City Manager to reside within city limits. The City Council will work with the selected candidate to establish a timeline for fulfilling this provision.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
